False Detection
This sensor features advanced technology to distinguish between lightning
strikes and interference, however in rare cases the sensor may "false detect"
lightning activity due to interference. In these situations, verify there is no
lightning in the area and then relocate the sensor. If the false detections persist,
identify and relocate the source of interference or relocate the sensor.
Interference
The sensor features enhanced interference rejection capabilities to prevent
false lightning detection. When the detector cannot detect lightning due to
interference from nearby equipment, the sensor's interference indicator will ash.
• Electric motors (windshield wiper motor or fan motors in cars, hard drive and
optical drive motors on your PC and AV equipment, well pumps, sump pumps)
• CRT monitors (PC monitors, TV's)
• Fluorescent light xtures (turned off or on)
• Microwave ovens (while in use)
• PC's and mobile phones
WARNING: Take shelter IMMEDIATELY when lightning is present, whether or
not it has been detected by the Lightning Detector. If you are concerned about
lightning strikes, follow all safety precautions to keep yourself and others safe.
DO NOT rely on this Lightning Detector as your only source for warnings
about potentially deadly lightning strikes or other severe weather conditions.
Problem Possible Solution

• Relocate the sensor.
• Make sure the sensor is placed at least 3 feet
(.9 m) away from electronics that may cause
interference (see Interference section above).
